WASHINGTON/BEIJING: US President Joe Biden's national security adviser will hold talks with China's top diplomat in Switzerland this week, the White House said on Tuesday, making good on a pledge by both country's leaders for officials to step up communication.

It will be Sullivan's first face-to-face meeting with Yang since acrimonious exchanges between the two in Alaska in March, which also involved US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Biden Sep 9 call with Xi ended a nearly seven-month gap in direct communication between the leaders of the world's two largest economies, and they discussed the need to ensure that competition between the world's two largest economies does not veer into conflict.

On Monday, the Tai unveiled the results of a months-long"top-to-bottom" review of China trade policy, pledging to hold"frank" talks with Beijing about its failure to keep promises made in Trump's trade deal and end harmful industrial policies.
